zeissman,
And no 8x, not matter how good, will perform as well as a 10x of equal quality as in all-around, short-to-long use.
Not sure I understand this comment. Sounds like personal preference to me which is fine, but a 10x is not inherently superior as a binocular.
If both have 42mm objective, I'll take the 8x every time for "all-around, short-to-long use". But that is just my personal preference.
